If demos are your thing, and you’re the sort who is always on the lookout for new and exciting experiences, it really is your time right now. It’s about to be Steam’s demo-centric event, Next Fest, and then, just after that, we’re getting an alpha test for something uniquely interesting: CultGame.
This cult simulator RPG ticks an awful lot of boxes for me personally. Not only am I utterly fascinated by cults and the people who get lost in them, but I’m also a sucker for proc-gen worlds and ASCII art. I feel like the stars might be aligning for me on this one.
CultGame is set in a procedurally-generated fantasy world, wherein you must perform dark rituals and bring followers into your flock. It sounds like your beliefs are represented via perks and upgrades, and indie devs Bucephalus Studios have you trying to worm your way into positions of authority within the wider world generated by the game.
I don’t have long to wait before I can join this new cult, either, because the upcoming alpha demo is almost upon us, with a planned release date of October 27th.
Finally, CultGame is heading to PC (Lin, Win), so head over to Steam and get it wishlisted if you’re into the idea of bringing misery down on those filthy non-believers.
